I woke up today
And went down to the bay
To drown all my memories
Rinse out my mind
And then lie down among the other empty shells

Lay down on the sand
With my thoughts out of hand
Heard the waves break and whisper
Washing secrets ashore
Heard the wind at the cliffs 
Singing songs of no return 

I think the ocean stole my watery soul
I think the ocean carried it away
I think the ocean stole my watery soul
I think the ocean left me here astray

I'll wake up no more
Make my bed on the shore
And the high-tide [bad word] With its cooling embrace
And rock me, rock me to sleep, 
To sleep, to sleep, to sleep, to sleep

(sung by multiple voices in tandem)
I think the ocean stole my watery soul
I think the ocean carried it away
I think the ocean stole my watery soul
I think the ocean left me here astray

I woke up today
And went down to the bay
To drown all my memories
Rinse out my mind
And lie down among the other empty shells
Lie down among the other empty shells
Lie down among the other empty shells
